Description Stanislav Brabec 2006-04-04 12:31:18 UTC 
Nautilus handles ftp protocol using GNOME VFS, but is not able to handle files
on FTP.

How to reproduce:
nautilus ftp://path/dir works.
nautilus ftp://path/dir/file complains Could not display "ftp://path/dir/file".
The location is not a folder.

Expected behavior:
Open a corresponding application, not return an error.

Still present in 2.14.1.
Comment 2 Stanislav Brabec 2006-06-30 09:47:23 UTC 
Note that local files have the same problem, too.

But for local files, nautilus cannot be set as a default.

It was workin in past (by calling appropriate bonobo component). I guess it is possible to call gnome-open for files instead of issuing an error.
Comment 3 Christian Neumair 2006-06-30 10:33:48 UTC 
Stanislav: we need an async gnome_vfs_show so that we don't block the main loop. This is also good for for the panel. See bug 337002 for a proposed implementation.

Works fine here. I think this is fixed.
